No its true! Rather funny when you look back on it. ABout 15+ years ago I decide to get out my old Lionel stuff. I was single at the time and had a spare bedroom with nothing in it. Had the track down on some plywood. The old engine I had wasnt doing so well as it had set for a while. My friend and I borrowed some cleaner from work and took the body off the locomotive and sprayed the electric motor. Cleaning it of years of stuff. We decided to bench test it on the railroad as we ran it around the lay out a few times. It was getting better and really starting to run good after a few laps and some more spray. We decided to let it run a little bit and it had made a lap or 2 when suddenly we had a flash along the mainline and fire suddenly started to chase the locomotive around the lay out. We were at full throttle trying to get keep away from it but it at last caught up with the locomotive. It was coming by me on a curve when I knocked it off the track and sacrificed a Bud Light on the locomotive.

Seems our spray electronics cleaner had lots of vapor! HAHA!

Had the plastic front steps replaced on the chassis and a few wires and the locomotive was good to go after that!
